ACE710C 1A Synchronous PWM Boost converter Description The ACE710C is a step-up converter that provides a boosted output voltage from a low voltage source. Because of its proprietary design, it starts up at a very low input voltage down to 0.9V, and only consumes 15uA at standby, making it an ideal choice for single cell alkaline/NiMH battery operations. A switching frequency of 1MHz minimizes solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM design is internally compensated, reducing external parts count. ACE710C is available in SOT23-5 Package.

It’s operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram. Upon starting up, the low voltage startup circuitry drives SW with on-off cycles, transferring energy from input to OUT by storing energy in the inductor during on-time and releasing it to the output during off-time. When OUT is high enough, the startup circuit turns off and the main controller takes over. The main control loop consists of a reference, a GM error amplifier, a PWM controller, a current sense amplifier, an oscillator, a PWM logic control, and it is power stage including its driver. The main control loop is a classic current mode control loop. The GM stage integrates the error between FB and REF, and its output is used to compare with a triangular wave which the summing result of the current sense amplifier output and a slope compensation voltage. The output of the comparator is used to drive the power stage to reach regulation. APPLICATION INFORMATION Inductor selection With switching frequency up to 1MHz, small surface mount inductors can be used with values from 2.2uH to 4.7uH.For a given chosen inductor value and application conditions make sure the peak inductor current does not exceed the maximum current rating of the selected vendor's inductor. Input and output capacitor selection The ACE710C's bootstrap architecture allows the use of very small input capacitor. For applications that only need to drive small output load current, the input capacitor is optional, because once output is started up, the IC's is powered by OUT, a quiet power supply. The output capacitor is used to stabilize the loop and provide ac current to the load. A low ESR ceramic cap with values from 2.2uF to 22uF can be used. Smaller value capacitors are generally cheaper with small footprints, while larger capacitor provides lower ripples and better transient load responses. Also, when extreme low startup voltage is needed, larger output capacitors are needed for the part to startup under heavy load condition.
